Psalms 51:15

³Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you. ⁴So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name. ⁵My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

¹⁵Through him, then, let’s offer up a sacrifice of praise to Godcontinually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name.

²¹“In that day I will cause a horn to sprout for the house of Israel, and I will open your mouth among them. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”

¹³With my lips, I have declared all the ordinances of your mouth.

¹⁴that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.

²⁷But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.”

¹¹The LORD said to him, “Who made man’s mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn’t it I, the LORD?

⁹He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness; for no man will prevail by strength.

³⁴Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!”

⁶³that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done,” says the Lord GOD.’”
